Harvesting and tractor specialist Claas has developed and field tested a combine harvester fitted with a part electric drive system.

Claas has marked the 20th anniversary of entering the global tractor market with the production of its 200,000th tractor at its French Le Mans facility.

Claas has closed the gap in the DISCO 9200/9300 and the DISCO 1100 wide mower ranges, with the arrival of the new 9700 range triple set up.

With the German Agritechnica Event just a few weeks away, it looks like the key tractor makers are playing a game of top trumps with their flagship 4-wheel drive machines.

With a working width of up to 9.50m, the Claas Disco 9700 butterfly disc mower is available in five versions with the choice of tine or roller conditioner units and swath merging.

Back in 2022, Claas announced the sale of its Cargos self-loading wagons to Bavarian company, Fliegl, suggesting that the market for such wagons was static, with too many players vying for the limited business and a pressing need for more room at its Bad Saulgau factory.

Claas has made good on its promise to take the high horsepower tractor market head-on with the release of its XERION 12 series.

Agricultural machinery distributor, Landpower Group, has acquired the Canterbury- based Claas Harvest Centres in Ashburton, Templeton, Timaru, Waipara, and Westland from the Carrfields Group.

Up until the new millennium, Claas had a been a harvest specialist, best known for its combines, self-propelled forage harvesters and an extensive range of mowers, tedders, rakes and both round and square balers.

German manufacturers have always had a belief that tractors should be multi-purpose vehicles.
